About Me

Welcome to my Little Spot on the Net! I'm Leslie and I have had an interest in making my own Soaps, Lotions, and Potions since I saw the Movie, Practical Magic. I know I know, but her Shop was so Beautiful. It was that movie which inspired me to get into a more Natural way of life. I dove in herbology, herbalism, and Natural ways of taking care of ones own body. In Oct. of 2007 we decided, after much research, to create our own line of All Natural & eco friendly Beauty body Bars, Lotions, & scrubs. We decided to call our Line The Green Goat People ask us why "The Green Goat" "Green" because our products are all natural & biodegradable. Good to the earth. "Goat" because we use goats milk! Why Goats Milk? Goats milk runs along the skins natural PH. According to the Journal of American Medicine, "Goat's milk is the most complete food known." It contains vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, trace elements, enzymes, protein, and fatty acids that are utilized by your body with ease.
